Denzel Ward glad to be back from his first concussion

Denzel Ward is back at practice with the Cleveland Browns after missing two games with a concussion. The rookie cornerback’s return took longer than fans wanted. It took longer than Ward had hoped when he initially suffered the brain injury back in Week 13 in Houston.

“Longer than I expected,” Ward said in his press conference when asked about his recovery. “Just glad to be back. I was out there today. I had fun. Able to be back with the guys, able to run around. Glad I am back.”

With brain injuries, there is always the worry of a compounding effect. According to Ward, that isn’t the case here.

“No, that was my first one (concussion),” Ward stated.

The Pro Bowler will be back in action when the Browns host the Bengals in Week 16.
